— your phone rings continuously the vibrations and noise from your loud ringtone causes you to begin stirring in your sleep, you try to ignore the call telling yourself in your half awake state you’ll call whoever it is back when you wake up. the phone stops for a moment, just as you start to drift back to sleep your woken up again by another call. you reluctantly turn over and you see that “No Caller ID” is calling.

(a bit of backstory) you and Daniel’s relationship previously ended a week ago as you guys had a really bad & intense argument which ended with him putting his hands on you, he busted your lip which was no longer bleeding but bruised and still obviously apparent, he also blacked your eye, you kicked him out of the house and texted him ending your relationship and you blocked him afterwards not giving him a chance to respond.
